Mostly positive experience

I felt based on our meeting and calls that Tanya was dedicated and trustworthy. She was no-nonsense and overall the kind of person I wanted as my lawyer: aggressive but not offensive. I just wish she had followed through a little better in the very end. Throughout my case, Tanya was the person wor...king with me. I was surprised when Tracy--whom I had never met--showed up to the final court date, and embarrassed that she had to ask opposing counsel for a copy of paperwork and to verify facts. I felt that compared to Tanya's professionalism, Tracy was a disappointment, and I would have preferred that a junior associate work with me throughout the process than to not even recognize my attorney when she arrived at court! Tanya also charged nearly double what she had quoted for my maximum expected budget. Had she told me up front what the total would be, I would have had no problem; I just didn't like that surprise. I would recommend Helfand & Associates only if you accept that you may pay significantly more than expected, and suggest you specify whether or not you would prefer Tanya herself representing you. She is certainly the kind of person I wanted helping me, and her dedication and professionalism are unrivaled.

Outstanding Attorney

I found Ms. Helfand's knowledge and tenacity most reassuring during the ordeal of my divorce. She was steadfast in her guidance and was very effective in her negotiations on my behalf. I would recommend her without a second thought.

I would recommend

Ms. Helfand was very professional and helpful with our bankruptcy case. Her advice was very useful and helped us make the proper decisions for our situation. In addition, she was very supportive during a very difficult time for us. Finally, she set very specific fee expectations and there were no sur...prises when it was completed. I would use her services again and would recommend her, without question.

Excellent Experience during a difficult time

Tanya and her staff provided a level of expertise, advisement and services that were above my expectations. She was honest and forthcoming even when it was not what I wanted to hear. The office staff and other attorneys were all professional and responsive.

Let Go & Let Tanya....

Ms. Helfand strategized & processed, both, my Divorce & Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. As both cases were emotionally and legally challenging, Ms. Helfand proved to be an empowering Mentor along the path to clarity for which I am truly grateful. I highly recommend her legal expertise to anyone who is seeki...ng a confident, savvy & caring attorney to become at peace with self and any legal matters.
